    What Officials Said About Ongoing Challenges?

    Matt Garman, AWS senior vice president, acknowledged the difficulty of these decisions, stating, “Change can be difficult.” Garman shed light on the company’s need to remain agile in a rapidly evolving industry.

    “We operate in an incredibly fast-moving industry, and it is important that we stay agile as an organisation. The changes we are making are preparing the organisation for the future, aligning with our strategy and priorities, and reducing duplication and inefficiency. I recognise the effect this has on every individual impacted,” he added.

    Dilip Kumar, Vice President of AWS Applications, addressed affected employees, mentioning that layoffs would impact teams handling identity and checkout functions within the Physical Stores Technology organization at AWS.

    “We’ve learnt a lot through the launch of identity and checkout technologies in our large format Amazon Fresh stores, and have good customer feedback to inform our plans going forward. We are also expanding our identity and checkout technologies in smaller-format 1P [first-party] stores, and growing our third-party locations,” he added.

    Previous Layoffs

    These layoffs are the latest in Amazon’s ongoing restructuring efforts, which began with substantial layoffs in 2022 and continued into 2023, affecting various business units, including Twitch, Audible, and Prime Video.
